Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K Run/Walk
The Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K is the third annual run and walk held on October 10, 2026 in Midland, Michigan at 204 St Charles Street. The event covers a distance of 5K and carries a registration fee of $30. Registration opens on June 16, 2026 and on-site registration begins at 9 am on race day.
Event amenities include two food trucks, a raffle prize, and complimentary face painting and glitter tattoos for attendees. The format is presented as a community gathering that combines a short road running event with family-oriented activities.
The event was established after the organizers experienced the loss of one twin in utero at 31 weeks while the surviving twin required 29 days of care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Proceeds support the Tiny Footprints Remembrance Foundation and are designated to assist the Covenant NICU and the bereavement program Noah's Footprints. Funding is intended for mementos for grieving parents, support services, and creation of care kits for mothers experiencing miscarriage.
The stated aim is to provide a supported space to honor babies who did not survive to come earthside and to reduce stigma around grieving by offering resources and community support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
